- Owl hired Mr. Anad, one of the Kingpin's former legal advisors, and tried
making a name for himself by selling Mutant Growth Hormone as a new drug.

(Daredevil II#41) - Owl grew
frustrated and furious when one of his dealers came back and reported that
Daredevil had approached him, roughed him up, and told him to give the Owl the
message "Gotcha last". Owl listened to Anad's advice that going after Daredevil
would be a mistake and that they would need to approach things from a new level,
but he still took his frustration out by slashing off the face of the dealer and
killing him. Anad was disgusted.

(Daredevil II#42) - Anad
tried making Owl laugh with a story of taking advantage of another man's
handicap, but Owl was not amused. They soon received word that Daredevil was
coming to confront them, and Anad made sure that Owl understood that Anad should
handle Daredevil. Anad tried calming Daredevil and claiming legal rights, but
was shocked when Daredevil destroyed the hidden camera they had and Anad's DAT
recorder before rushing off.

(Daredevil II#44) - When he
read of Murdock being a suspect in the Rosenthal murder, Anad questioned Owl
about his actions. Owl calmly explained that he believed Daredevil was out of
their hair forever now.

(Daredevil II#45) - Sykes
had to scrape more from Owl, infuriating him, and Sykes claimed that they'd lost
another supply due to a battle with Iron Man. Owl questioned Sykes just as they
FBI, led by Agent Harold Driver, rushed in in a raid. Anad tried stepping up,
but Driver silenced him. Driver questioned the Owl, explaining that another
dealer, Riley Jenkins, had been killed and that Owl was the primary suspect.
Driver sarcastically told Anad that Kingpin had been much smarter about his
business, then recognized Sykes. They told the men that Sammy Silke, who'd been
under their protection, had been murdered, shocking Anad and Sykes. Owl then
leapt up and attacked the agents. Driver was knocked down, firing his gun. Owl
tried running for it but Daredevil defeated the Owl with a series of punches as
the FBI watched. Driver let Daredevil go, wishing he'd warned him about the
Kingpin's return.
